Bush, Clinton, Carter land in Monterey

Three Former U.S. Presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter, landed in private planes at the Monterey airport at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

The trio may seem like an odd bunch, but the two Democrats and Republican have made appearances and hung out together before.

A motorcade escorted Bush, Clinton and Carter from the airport to the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa at 5 p.m. Clinton smiled and waived at KSBW cameraman Jimmy Celaya, reporter Jessica Vo and anchor Brittany Nielsen as a security detail walked with him into the oceanfront hotel.

Details on the political powerhouses' 5-hour visit to the Monterey Peninsula were not released by law enforcement officers because of security reasons.

Sources who requested to remain anonymous said that Bush, Clinton and Carter traveled here to attend a fundraiser dinner for a charitable cause. They are speaking in front of a 200-person crowd, and all of the high-roller guests were invited by AT&T.
